Add to my above remarks: Most of the small music companies I do business with offer free samples of full songs from their lists, it does not seem to hurt their business, but rather encourages me to buy their physical products, the
cd-s, to hear other music by the artists they offer. Win, win, win for me, the recording company and the artists.

Good on Yahoo! it’s been well known for quite some time that the only ones to see more than a pittance from recorded music sales, tape, cd or whatever are the RIAA and the corporations. The artists come dead last on the recording industry food chain. This decision by Yahoo! will not help me much, my musical tastes run to music that is produced by small non RIAA outfits, but I still applaud Yahoo! for having the corporate guts to make this decision.
